1600 to 1800 cvh

Postby JamieFRST on Wed Oct 20, 2004 7:55 pm

I bought my RS Turbo with a rebuilt engine and 30 miles on the clock as the previous owner had lost his lisence for drink driving, the build was done by Interpro.

Its now an 1800, ive spoken to them today to find out what spec it is so i can get it setup now its got some miles on it. They mentioned changed crank and stroke? can someone explain this to me as i have no idea :-?

If its a 1600 block but is now a 1800cc it means the crank has a longer stroke
Too old and too bald.

a longer stroke engine produces more torque than a short stroke engine however has less ability to rev!

can go into the tech side of it but cant be arsed!
